Quercetti Transparent Marble Run – 45 Piece Basic Building Set – Classic Construction Toy Perfect for Beginners Ages 4 and Up (Made in Italy)

Assemble your own marble runs with this excitingly challenging construction set. Reproduce the layouts pictured on the box or have fun experimenting with new designs. Interlocking chutes, bridges, pillars, and spinning wheels can all be combined in countless configurations that guarantee hours of great fun. Marble Run promotes creativity and logical reasoning both of which are required to place and fix the components precisely and get the marbles rolling. All pieces are made of unbreakable high-quality transparent materials so you can build solid structures and visually track the course of the marble.
What goes up must come down! With the Transparent Marble Run, kids will erect tubes, chutes, bridges, and spinning wheels and send nine swirled marbles one after another through the structure, all the while learning some simple principles of physics. Many designs are possible with the transparent and pliable blue, yellow, and pink tubes. The enclosed marbles can’t jump the track and, at the end of the run, they come to rest neatly in a tray. When playtime is over, all the pieces fit in a durable plastic box. –Lynne Sampson
